Boxing Day Betting

Boxing Day is a great day for sport, this year. And for all you betting punters wanting to escape down the pub for a few hours to escape the in-laws then here is a quick rundown on what sports are taking place for your Boxing Day betting fixtures.

Cricket Betting
England resume their second Test against South Africa, on Boxing Day, in Durban. After escaping with a draw from the first Test, England will be looking to go one better and beat South Africa in their own backyard, as long as they don’t dramatically collapse like they did on the first Test.

Premiership Betting
Birmingham v Chelsea, is the early kick off match on Boxing Day (12:45) and with Birmingham one of the in-form teams it will be interesting to see if they can take on the mighty Chelsea. Other games worth mentioning are Man City vs Stoke, where Mancini takes charge of his first game in charge of the Light Blues. Also worth a watch is Liverpool v Wolverhampton. Can Rafa’s promise of a top 4 finish come undone against a bolshy Stoke side?

Scottish Premier League Betting
Big game North of the Border is Dundee Utd v Kilmarnock. After the announcement that Craig Levein has been appointed the new Scotland manager it will be interesting to see if it has a diverse effect on United as they try to maintain their excellent start to the season and aim to split the Old Firm.

Horse Racing Betting
The big race of the day is at Kempton Park for the King George VI Chase with star performer, Kauto Star, looking good in the betting stakes. A host of Boxing Day National Hunt meetings are under threat from the cold snap, with inspections taking place on Christmase Eve and announcements will be made if the racecards are going ahead.

Rugby Union Betting
Worcester v Northampton is the only game from the Guinness Premiership. Northampton will be looking to seal a victory and close the gap on current leaders, Saracens.
